If I am preparing for CAT, do I need to prepare separately for CMAT?

No, CAT preparation mostly suffices for CMAT. -

Other than that everything remains same and yes CMAT exam is quite easy then CAT paper, so you need not worry much regarding other things, if you are preparing hard for CAT you are definitely going to crack CMAT with a little preparation of GK, with a good score. -

7 years agoTo simply put the answer, 'No'. You need not prepare separately for both exams. Preparing for CAT will ensure you have prepared 85% for CMAT as well.
The syllabus would be General Knowledge section for which you should read current affairs. This can easily be covered by newspapers and magazines.
Apart for regular CAT study the other thing must to cover CMAT is practicing mock papers for CMAT.
This will ensure that you know the format of the exam and are well prepared for it.
Keep in mind the only key to hack the exams is hard work. -

Hi, it's not necessary to study for different exams separately. If you prepare for CAT well, you'll be good with your speed and accuracy and then the difficulty level of CMAT being lower than CAT, it'll be easier for you to cope up with CMAT problems. But, CMAT will have GK part as well. So, for that you need to prepare separately. But accordingly, if you prepare well for the GK part in CMAT, it'll help you for your interviews after getting calls on your CAT score. So, you should prepare holistically for the syllabus and keep your general awareness updated. Good Luck! -

No, not necessary. You can focus your studies for CAT and if you are able to focus on all aspects of learning then studying separately for CMAT is not required. You need to retain what you study.
